PUBLIC HEARING - 6:30 P.M. - A public hearing was held regarding the vacating and abandonment of a utility easement located on lot fifteen (15) of Hunter's Ridge Road. Councilman Hannah questioned Mr. Lowes, Public Works Director, as to who would be liable for the utilities if something went wrong. Mr. Lowes stated the utility company would assume the responsibility not the City of Jonesboro, due to an ordinance which requires an individual to call the utility company prior to digging. Mr. Bob Newell of Miller Newell Company stated there were only two utilities located on this piece of property, TCI and Southwestern Bell, both of which gave approval to vacate the utility easement.
